The Dark Reflection of India's Culture: Rape, Murder, and Vigilantism In the aftermath of the brutal rape and murder of an 11 year old girl in West Bengal, protests turned violent, leaving a trail of destruction and at least one innocent person dead.
At least dozens of protesters have been arrested by police. The incident is part of a disturbing pattern that has been unfolding in India for years.
Despite toughened laws and high profile convictions, such as the 2012 Delhi gang rape and murder case, where four men were hanged for their crimes, violence against women continues to plague the country.
